[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Be aware that anyone can become a therapist. Anyone.  The training and supervision for many therapists comes from other therapists who charge them  for thousands of hours  to reach certification. It's a money making business, for sure, and the supervision part is very lucrative.  I know many therapists in the field that I am in- family therapists, relationship therapists,  or children's therapists who actually don't have, and never had families of their own and have trouble staying in a relationship themselves.  But they love being the  judge in things they are insecure about to begin with, and are often quite unstable.

So,  there's that.  
And, all, I mean all mothers end up being labeled narcissists. It's a buzz word now, among other therapy speak adages.

Not everyone can become a licensed, independent practitioner, who can bill insurance companies and render diagnoses.  Would you not check the credentials of a physician you go to?  It’s no different.

The training comes with the education, which is provided by nationally-accredited training programs in various disciplines (psychology, social work, counseling, etc.).  Supervision is part of training and licensure - again, the same as it is for physicians.  You know a resident physician isn’t yet board-certified, right?  Same thing as someone who, for example, completed their PhD in clinical psychology and is under the supervision of a licensed therapist until they can sit for licensure exams.  If the postdoc is at a hospital, supervision is subsumed under that organization.  You seem to be railing against supervision from private practitioners, which makes no sense if you ultimately want well-qualified psychotherapists.[/quote]

Are you seriously comparing a board certified medical dr to a therapist? Not the same at all.  If I want to become a therapist, all I need is a  master's degree in anything loosely related, and become supervised by someone I AM PAYING PRIVATELY  to supervise me. How us that ethical? You are actually trying to tell people here that a physician goes through the same thing? No, a physician goes to medical school, and a residency - and is supervised all through by other physicians who are qualified.  The wannabe dr isn't paying them privately thus increasing their income. The new dr is surrounded by numerous practioners in his residency, in a variety of situations, and is fully qualified after years of this and numerous exams. A therapist takes a test.  A therapist probably wouldn't even qualify for medical school, or most clinical grad programd. A therapist doesn't even have to be smart!

Lastly, a physician can treat a patient even witg numerous personal problems, failed relationships,  and zero parenting or marriage experience. He/She cab even be an as$#@!* with zero people skills and still be a brilliant clinician.

A therapist can be a therapist even though they really need a therapist more than they need to be one , and man, are they out there.

No, dear, not the same at all. [/quote]

You should try knowing what you’re talking about before you patronize people.  You’re staggeringly ignorant.[/quote]

And yet you don't indicate why, because  you cannot. These are the exact qualifications for many many LPCs.  You know this.

Secondly,  there are so many licensed psychologists, with higher  credentialing but serious  flawed judgement. Who is supervising them? No one. Please don't ever compare this field or this profession to a physician,  not even a dentist. Not even a physical therapist.  Just don't.
